Mass Effect 3 How to launch a probe

Please Help.

I ame playing single player / role play game and i am unable to launch a probe - Does anyone know how to launch a probe while scanning.  Pressing the left mouse button does not seem to have any effect.  I am using a PC Desktop with a Logitech performance mouse.  The game illustrates using the Right mouse button to scan the planet (and this works) and while scanning the games show to use the left button to launch a probe (this DOES NOT work).  In Mass Effect 2 you had to buy probes. everything I have read for Mass Effect 3 says you do not and that you have unlimited probes.   I am unable to do any of the rescues missions or recover artifiacts until I figure out how to get the probes to work.

any help would releave my frustration.

Thanks All

  • Are you scanning correctly? You can't send probes to any area on the planet, as you could in ME2.

    Check out this video from IGN about planet scanning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmX702YDqdM

    This is the Xbox 360 version, but on PC, sending a probe is done by left clicking.

    Thanks for the reply__  Found out what the problem was.  the mouse will not produce 2 outputs at same time.  Changed mouse and it works fine.  which also explains why I couldn't shoot while using scope.  

    again thanks for the reply
